This may be a longshot, but does anyone know where I can find the Operating Instructions for the HS900/TM900/SD900 for the Americas? I'm slightly annoyed with all the PAL references in the current UK model PDF up on the Panasonic USA site.

I am planning to get the TM900 if my HV30's sensor repair costs exceed $350. Then I'll sell my HV30 as a deck and get the TM900 as my new primary camera.

Panasonic HDC-TM900K Support and Service Information (http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/support/Cameras-Camcorders/Camcorders/Hi-Def-Camcorders/model.HDC-TM900K)

That is the page I'm talking about that still has the UK version of the manual. All references are to 576p and 1080p50.

You are correct. It is the downloadable manual on the *USA* site, however, but I did not see you had noted that.
